Remember that patch we told you about for Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix? It’s out now. Your crash issues will go away and the game will work much better.
A whole heap of issues have been fixed other than the crashing to make the gameplay that much better. Capcom has poured a lot of heart and soul into this one and it really shows. Can’t wait for the final game to ship later this summer.
Do you remember playing the Commando games growing up? I have some fond recollections of the games. So when Capcom announced Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3, I got all excited. After seeing the first gameplay videos, I had mixed reactions. Finally getting to play the game, I can say it’s fairly solid and provides a lot of fun, especially in short bursts
Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3 is perfect when you don’t have a lot of time. The game is easy to pick up and play with it’s familiar dual analog controls. The left stick is used for movement while the right stick is used for 360-degree firing of your weapon. The action is fast and the game can be completed in a very short amount of time (I finished in just under an hour). Commando 3 is great when you have a few minutes to kill but don’t want to fire up a long game.
That’s right folks. Those of you who’s 360’s are crashing from the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta are in luck. Even though Capcom said they wouldn’t be, a patch is in the works.
No word on what they’re fixing, but they’re fixing it. We tried to get in touch with Capcom, but have yet to hear back. Stay tuned.
I spent a good deal of time the past week with the Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix Beta. I’m not typing that again, so I’ll call it SSFIITHDR Beta from now on. That’s just as hard to type. We’ll figure something out.
If you’re in your late 20’s to early 30’s, you grew up with Street Fighter II (and it’s various iterations) in the arcades. I spent countless hours and thousands of quarters perfecting my fighting regimen. And trust me when I say I was damn good back then. When Street Fighter II was announced for the Xbox Live Arcade, I got all antsy in the pantsy. Sadly, the game didn’t turn out to be the faithful recreation we had all hoped, mainly because of the controls with the difficult Xbox 360 D-pad. I was a bit skeptical at first when I heard Capcom would be turning the game into an HD Remix, mainly because of said controls. After spending a week with the game, I’m happy to report they did it right. The controls feel very solid using the left analog stick. Takes you back to rocking the joystick on the arcade machines of days past. You can customize the button layout to your liking, which is a huge plus since we’re not working with 6 face buttons (I miss you, Sega Genesis 6-button controller).
No street dates have been announced just yet on Mega Man 9, but Capcom has confirmed that the newest Mega Man title, Megaman 9, will be hitting the PlayStation Network, the Xbox Live Arcade, and Wiiware. What was at first thought to be a Wiiware exclusive title has turned the corner and been whored out to all the systems. Good job Capcom, make sure you fill your pockets with as much cash as possible.
LAST MINUTE UPDATE: Capcom has officially stated that Mega Man 9 is currently slated “for WiiWare only” and that the information indicating it would go cross platform was a mistake on Capcom’s part. We take back the part where we called Capcom money grubbing whores, we love you Capcom, we didn’t mean it.
The SSFIITHDR Beta launched today on the Xbox 360 and some people are pissed off. Buy some people, I mean pretty much everyone playing the game. The Beta is locking up hardcore to the point where you have to power down your 360. Yikes. Worst part? Capcom has no plans to fix it.
“We will not be patching the beta… resubmissions would cost a fortune and not go live for weeks even if we had (MS would have to reapprove every submission). This isn’t like the PC where a developer can make changes daily (for good or ill). All feedback and bugs will be factored into the final code.”
So if you bought Wolf of the Battlefield for no reason other than to get into the Street Fighter Beta, you got screwed. Hard. With no lube. I haven’t attempted the play the Beta yet, but I’m not expecting much given the major problems being reported.
Word around the water cooler is suggesting that Microsoft has made a very large cash offer to Capcom to make Resident Evil 5 a timed exclusive for the Xbox 360. How much money and how long the exclusivity will last is unknown.
Something like this honestly wouldn’t surprise me. We all know Microsoft dropped $50 million on Rockstar for the exclusive GTA4 DLC which hasn’t materialized yet. Just how big do they thing RE5 is going to be? Is it worth that much cash to secure it for the 360 for a couple months? Microsoft has some deep pockets. We’ll see what happens when E3 rolls around next month.
Slow down. No, if you win you will not be a character, but you can be a background character like above. Pretty sweet. All you have to do is write in to Capcom and tell them why you should be in SF IV. Simple enough. Here is the link.Wow ‘em.
Capcom has some potential monster titles coming soon and here is what they will be showing us next month at E3:
- Bionic Commando (PC, PS3, X360)
- Bionic Commando Rearmed (PC, PS3, X360)
- Capcom Project #1 [untitled] (other)
- Capcom Project #2 [untitled] (other)
- Dark Void (PC, PS3, X360)
- MotoGP 08 (other)
- Neopets Puzzle Adventure (PC, Wii)
- Plunder (PC, PS3, X360)
- Resident Evil 5 (PS3, X360)
- Spyborgs (Wii)
- Street Fighter IV (PC, PS3, X360)
- Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix (PS3, X360)
Between Bionic Commando, SF IV, and Resident Evil 5, Capcom might be third party to rule them all this fall.
Capcom has a pretty cool Wii exclusive title coming soon. Spyborgs is an action/adventure/platformer that looks to play a lot of Ratchet and Clank. At least that’s what I’ve taken from the first look. There’s a cool cartoon feel to everything, which fits right in with the Wii.
